Label Printing with ZPLII

[Former Member]

Hello All,

We are trying to print labels with Zebra printers using ZPL II programming.

The prints are ok for english characters but it does not print the characters belonging to European characters.

We changed the device type to support special characters. But we are not sure if the new device type will support that.

Please suggest your thoughts on this.

thanks

Seema

Hi Seema,

if you use sapscript, I guess you use the method described in SAP Note 179534 where you create the label in the third party BAR-ONE program and upload it to the sapscript form in the SAP system. In this case, device type like LB_ZEB is used which just passes the print data with the embedded ZPL-II commands to the printer without changing anything.

I'm not sure which languaegs you are trying to print. Usually, it is necessary to copy the device type e.g. ZLB_ZEB and change the character set of the device type to a character set, which supports the required language. The current character se for device type LB_ZEB is 1162.

Aidan

Hi Seema,

Do you use smartforms? If so, try with device type LZEBS2 as per SAP Note 750002.
